Welcome to The Wally Show Aftercast, all the stuff we didn't get to during the course of the show today.

Betty Rock is trying to help me out with a little bit of chat GPTing my symptoms, which is always a slippery slope.

Because you can either find help and hope or just spiral.

If you are somebody that struggles with like medical stuff, like my daughter, I would never tell her to look up anything. And Betty struggles with it, too. You've gotten a lot better in recent years. But, like, health stuff used to wig you out. Well, I think because there hasn't been that many health issues recently. Thank you, Jesus. Yeah. But my daughter, she would spiral. She'll spiral on my health issues.

Like, and I'm like, it's okay. I'm going to do that with my parents too. Yeah, exactly. And it's only children and stuff like that. I think they worry. But I've been having, like, what I know to be kidney stone issues for a while now. and it's kind of gotten worse because now like

there's a pain in my upper left side under my ribs and that's new. I'm like, oh, that's interesting.

Maybe we should get that looked at and I'm trying to. I'm trying to get into my doctor and I had a

I'm probably thinking he's not happy with me right now because I question things. Oh, that's his problem. Yeah.

And he's like, well, why don't you go to an urgent care? I'm like, why do I have you then?

What's the point in you being here?

Right.

I mean, if I'm just going to go to urgent care every time I don't feel good, why do I need a primary care physician? Exactly. The idea is that we have a relationship. You know more about me and we can figure this out. and that's why you have one.

And I said in an email to him, I said,

is this the new way that we do medicine now?

And I said, I'm not trying to be snarky or mean, but I don't understand it.

It seems like our primary care physician now is just there for yearly checkups.

And if you're really sick, you can't get in.

And the default is go to the

urgent care. And that is now the new primary care physician, which I'm not thrilled with. And so

we had been going back and forth about stuff. And when I threw that one down, next thing I know,

he's out. And I'm getting texts from his assistant nurse lady like hey we can scudge you for

Monday or whatever so I mean I got what I wanted out of it but I'm curious if I damaged it and I

was trying to be snarky yeah but there's something that needed to be said yeah I mean I know
